SoT is our relaxation time – Or UWO Part II.

I don't know if it's just our luck or what, but we've had one cannonball fired at our ship in the last month-ish, and that was on accident by a crew member who didn't realize their crew had made friends. We also give exactly zero shits about anything, and sail straight to all destinations, wind cooperating. After we sunk Meg, we've since helped three or four more crews get her. If you ever see our shark-encrusted sloop in game, cannons pointing skyward, we will help you with whatever you need. 🙂

I used to look out for other ships coming to take my crap, now I just look out so I can say hi when I see them, maybe give them a chest or something. We once chased down a (very scared) galleon to give them all the supplies on our ship before we left the game.

Just little things most games miss… the flash of green at sunset, the sparks when you douse a treasure skeleton in water and their rusting parts grate together. I'm always looking forward for something new I never noticed before.

This may be an unpopular opinion and I understand a lot of people are not going to agree but... I am very happy with the state of the game. Let me explain. We have known what this game is going to be for a long time. Way before the official launch. The developers have been…

Seeing Forsaken Shores is coming in the next few days, I thought it would be a good time to post some basic FAQs and Tips. Hopefully, it will answer the majority of questions from noobs and returning players alike. Feel free to post below and I’ll add it to the list. ​ I'm just coming…

Ever heard "raise the sails so we can turn faster"? I started wondering if raising the sails actually helped with turning faster or if it only made you turn tighter so I tested it with a stopwatch. (It does both.) I timed a bunch of other stuff in the game too and thought I should…
